slow delivery

I've not done any buying or selling on ebay for a while so I don't know how normal this is. I purchased something on ebay last weekend and paid straight away as usual

on Monday morning I had an email from ebay to say it had been dispatched which I thought was unusual as it was only 8.30 in the morning but I know some local post offices like the one in our Nisa have the same opening hours as the shop ie all day and everyday.

I was expecting the parcel on Wednesday but nothing arrived. Nothing arrived on Thursday either. Finally it arrived this afternoon and on the postal sticker it said it was not posted out until 23rd (so normally it would have arrived on Friday but it was a bank holiday)

It was not a time sensitive thing and the parcel fitted through the front door with no real problems so no issues really but annoying that they marked it as dispatched when it was not dispatched for another 3 days. It has come from a business seller not a private one

Out of curiosity I checked google maps and the address is 5 mins drive from a post office so not a vast distance

I've not done the feedback yet, I am inclined not to let it affect what I put but has anyone else had this happen?

i'm not sure but i think mine are automatically marked as dispatched when the label is printed (this sometimes goes wrong if the parcel shop machine isn't working) (was it myhermes? there was a problem with my hermes earlier this week)

I have so many parcels to post that If I don't mark as sent, when wrapped and put in the "to go" bag I would get very confused as to what I had sent and what I hadn't...I guess what works for one doesn't work for another.
